The importance of English can be ignored by anyone. People's preference is mostly English as a second language. Some learn English in countries where it is spoken as a native language, and some are trying to learn in schools or special courses own countries. However, where reveals isn't really important. The important thing is gaining the ability to use English effectively. To achieve this goal, while some people disagree with this opinion, education language should be English instead of the mother tongue in the universities.
Who are the counter of the teaching of English in universities claim that students cannot understand courses well when courses are in English. Think that students can understand courses well only if courses are present in native language because you can easily follow the teacher, and can take notes simultaneously. In addition, of the education of the mother tongue of 12 years, students cannot adopt easily to English courses. Familiarity with English courses requires some time and affects the success of students. While this view opponents have some points, are not correct exactly. That students cannot understand courses cannot associate it with English completely. Begin with, the students of universities give English education learn English very well in preparatory classes of main courses. These classes are carried out some practices such as taking notes, write academic, paragraphs talking about activities. In these practices, students are ready to take their main courses. At the end of preparatory classes, students have an examination that assesses students if they are willing to take main courses or not. Secondly, since everything is English in preparatory classes, students have difficulty adopting him only in preparatory not on classes of licence classes.Therefore, begin to be familiar with him even in preparatorias.Es classes to say, unsuccess of students is generally related to students, not English education.
English education is useful because there are a lot of books that have not been translated yet. Due to this situation, students doing research, the students meet a lot of sources English. Raymundo said: "research shows that 80% of the amount of the Internet web content is in business-related content and English language written in the English language largely comprises this figure". (Raymundo, 2007, para.6) Firstly, students can benefit from these books only if you are familiar with English books. Otherwise, are forced to understand English books. Universities students taking English education have sufficient experiments to understand and interpret the English books.Secondly, the students doing research in language English and native have expanded the escala.Mientras that these countries research only language native have restricted zone, those conducting research in both languages can use many books. The fact is valid for not only books, but also to the internet and magazines.
Supporters of the teaching of English seems that it is necessary not only to learn it well but also to learn technical English. Students receive native language education can't learn English technical even if they are well in standard English. However, English education students learn English standard and technical English that are very important for business life and find a job abroad. First, technical English is much needed in business life. The teaching of native language students can't know some expressions techniques such as "force of friction, absolute value" even if you know English standard. Disburg asserts that the technical documentation of understanding, which are in English capability is vital, include instructions and descriptions, use, continuity and repair of technical products. Because there was a sharp increase in economic globalization, people whose native language is whether English or do not enter your documentation in English. (Disburg, 2007, para)Secondly, thanks to the knowledge of technical English, one can find a job abroad more fácil.Algunas people want to work abroad. These people, however, must be perfect in standard English and technical English to communicate with the people there and resolve some technical issues related to labour, respectively. It is possible only with the teaching of English which is taken at the University.
In conclusion, universities should prefer English instead of the mother tongue as a teaching language therefore can create students who used effectively in many areas.It is very important in the globalised world.Books, magazines, content on the internet are mostly in inglés.Sin knowing English, academic or business success, life is too difficult.
